    Here's a picture of my favorite betta again. Real close.... Taken in my hotel room...




    Then, we decided to travel all the way to Batang Ai, and further on to the Kalimantan border. No easy feat for a day trip, but our host Mike was game enough to take us there.

    Enroute, we found more cryptocoryne!








    This is Sri Aman. Crocodiles are suppose to be pretty common here.



    We wanted to stop at Sugarbun (Sawarak fast food chain) for lunch, but an earlier expedition report advice otherwise, so we gave it a miss.

    More to come...

    Enroute, we also saw many local drainage with plants.

    Here's one..



    When we finally got there, we found that some the rivers on the map were simply too large for exploration.



    As you can see, the water is pretty fast flowing. Fishes caught there does not survive long out of the river.

    But we were not entirely disappointed... as we found black water streams!!



    And from this stream, we found a new fish! Or rather..something we could not identify!



    We were pretty excited about this rasbora and there's a better picture later.


    And we also saw more aquatic plants, but I'm no expert at ID so if anyone knows what this might be, please drop me a note.

    More to come..

    As the roads were very bad, our exploration time was greatly reduced. But with the fishes in hand, we were pretty satisfied with how the day turned out.

    So we went to do more sight seeing!







    And after Batang lumpar, we decided to go to visit the famed Batang Ai dam. Incidentally, there's a longhouse run by Hilton hotel chain there. So for those of you used to urban luxury, fear not.



    More to come in Sarawak Adventure Part 4 ....

    Kindly leave your comments/discussions in the final part. Thanks!

    Cheers,
